[AISWorld] HICSS-48 Call for SWT Proposals

[HICSS]

Call for Symposium/Workshop/Tutorial Proposals
Submission Deadline: February 28, 2014  to hicss at hawaii.edu

48th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
January 5-8, 2015
Grand Hyatt, Kauai

www.hicss.hawaii.edu

HICSS derives its reputation from high quality papers, active discussions
and interaction that the conference structure facilitates. These SWT
sessions held on the first day as half-day oar full-day sessions may
explore, discuss, document, and/or add to the literature base on a topic.
Invited authors may present papers that are still in development and not
ready for publication.

Symposium: A Symposium is a meeting at which several specialists may
deliver short talks on the title topic. The session consists primarily of
presentations by persons distinguished in the area of research. Also, there
may be panel discussions to summarize or encourage a particular research
area. A symposium will have a well-defined agenda, specifically allowing
for questions and discussion toward the end of the session.

Workshop: A Workshop, as the name implies, involves "work" by those who
attend. The structure may include a few paper presentations, talks, or
panels, but, will primarily involve a collaborative activity that will
advance thinking and discover new insights, often about a relatively
immature area of research. Workshop leaders may structure their session as
they desire, which may include inviting specific contributors, or a more
general call for contributions. The goal should be specifically defined in
the description of the workshop. The output could be a state-of-the-art
report, a taxonomy, a research framework, a survey, a research agenda, or
some other study that in some way advances the field.

Tutorial: A tutorial is a gathering that is cross-disciplinary in nature
and that aims to give participants a brief overview of the subject matter.
Some tutorials may be actually advanced seminars that are an in-depth
survey of the topic for those who already have significant background in
the area under discussion.

Submission Instructions:
1. Submit a formal proposal to be considered. No symposium, workshop, or a
tutorial will be accepted without a formal written proposal.
2. Proposals for HICSS should be sent to hicss at hawaii.edu no later than
February 28, 2014.  Note: We accept MSWord files only. Please do not send
latex, postscript or pdf files.
3. The Conference Chair(s) will evaluate each proposal (with consultation
from various track chairs). The final decisions are based on the overall
merit of the proposal. Notification is by March 15, 2014.

Proposal Contents:
1. Title as you want it defined in conference materials, including program
and web site.
2. Specify clearly that your proposal is intended as either a symposium, a
workshop, or a tutorial, and whether it is to be a full- or a half-day
session.
3. Define the proposed subject. Discuss the topics the session will
address, and how they fit the area of research.
4. Discuss how these topics have recently been covered in other conferences
and publications in order to substantiate that HICSS is an appropriate and
timely forum for the topics.
5. A short paragraph describing the topics of your session. If your
proposal is accepted, this description will be included on the HICSS
website.
6. Names and full mailing address, direct phone number, departmental phone
number and fax, and email address for all leaders. Please specify your lead
contact at 'Primary'.
7. A short bio-sketch of each leader. This is especially important for
first-time presenters, or if your bio needs updating. (We reserve the right
to edit for a length or clarity.)
8. An explicit statement that your organization endorses your involvement
and that it will pay for your travel and registration cost to attend
HICSS.

SWT leaders who attend the conference pay a reduced registration fee of
$550.
